  • peerjs

    Simple peer-to-peer with WebRTC.

    Sadly I have no experience with Godot. In any case, you need a server to make the connection between the peers. As you put yourself, prior to an established connection the two parties can't find one another on the web. As long as your game isn't big enough to pay for a server, you could use https://peerjs.com/ 's.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
